Ingredients
- About two and half pounds of skirt steak
- Kosher salt
- Black Pepper
Marinade Ingredients
- 8 garlic cloves roughly chopped
- 1/2 of a large white onion roughly chopped
- Juice and zest of one lime
- Zest of one small orange
- 1 whole jalapeno roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoon Fiesta mix
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Marinade Instruction
- Place all of the ingredients (except for the skirt steak) in a container. Mix all of the ingredients together. I like to use a plastic food storage bag.
- Then, place the skirt steak into the marinade and make sure to coat both sides of the meat with the marinade.
- Cover your dish, or close your plastic food storage bag, and place into refrigerator.
- Marinade the meat for at least 24 hours.
Cooking Instructions
- When ready to cook the meat, remove meat from the refrigerator, season with salt and pepper, and let the meat reach room temperature for even cooking. (I usually sit my meats out for about 15 minutes at least).
- Cook meat to desired doneness on the grill or by using good griddle on the stove top using on medium high.
- I cook my skirt steak on medium high heat in an oiled pan for 4 minutes on each side to get a medium rare cooked skirt steak.
